Sandy Beach is on the north side of Snug Point, on the southern edge of Mannion Bay (locally known as Deep Bay). From the beach you can see Howe Sound and a beautiful view of the Coast Mountains, a towering chain across the water on the mainland. You can also see the Causeway, a low bridge and trail that cross the entrance to the Lagoon. The Lagoon is an estuary that joins Deep Bay with Terminal Creek.

To get on the trail network, just head West to the entrance of Crippen Park, or head into Snug Cove and the many trails that fan out from there.
